High intensity outdoor session this morning. 30mins right up on the limiter. Never really gets easier. You can just do more in the team and still same deadness. One of the workouts was an 8 min track which was split in to 4 x 2min. First two min was 5 squat jumps 10 alernating press ups 15 surfer 180 things as many times thru as ya can. Next two mins was similar but jumping jacks, burpees and lunges. Then did it all again. Killer
